“Yes. That car belongs to Team Leader Yang Munseok. He’s assigned to Ms. Haeun. Attorney Jo Han should be with him too.”
Yeoreum remembered the faces of the two lawyers she had seen at the police station.
As they chatted, the sedan stopped in front of the annex.
Yang Team Leader and his assistant lawyer stepped out of the car.
“Shall we talk?” Yang Team Leader suggested, causing the surrounding group to look bewildered.
“It’s okay. I’m already acquainted with them.”
“Ah, yes.”
They politely greeted Yeoreum and then quietly left.
Yang Team Leader spoke in a dry tone.
“I’ll get straight to the point. Take down the video immediately. And post an apology saying it was all a misunderstanding.”
“I’d rather sue.”
His voice became more stern.
“The video is spreading quietly. It won’t be long before it reaches the chairman’s ears.”
“It hasn’t spread yet? In this speed-obsessed world?”
“Just take down the video.”
“I don’t want to.”
After her brief reply, Yeoreum started walking away.
Yang Team Leader and Attorney Jo quickly followed her.
“Being stubborn won’t help. It will only make your life harder here.”
“Why? Feeling pity for me because I’ll be stuck here for 20 years, and scared of getting scolded by that wretched old hag?”
Embarrassed, Yang Team Leader had no response.
Yeoreum chuckled.
“You’re worried about me, aren’t you, Team Leader Yang?”
“No, I’m not.”
“It seems like you are.”
“No, I’m not!”
Yeoreum laughed out loud at his vehement denial.
The two lawyers looked even more flustered.
“Ah, life is so funny. Who would’ve thought I’d be bantering with Team Leader Yang? But then, being called the granddaughter of this house is absurd too, right?”
After calming down from his moment of agitation, Yang Team Leader said.
“Listen to me, or there will really be trouble.”
“Listen carefully, Team Leader Yang. Even if I get struck by lightning, I won’t just take down that video. Instead of coming to me like this, go convince Kang Haeun. Tell her to sincerely apologize and compensate both me and the affected parties. That’s the only way this situation will get resolved. Now, I must go; I was in the middle of a walk.”
With nothing more to say, Yeoreum turned and walked away.
“Wow, she’s really consistent,” remarked Attorney Jo Han in amazement.
“Is this really the time for such comments?”
“Well, it’s true. Considering how much we’re getting squeezed by the director and Kang, the Deputy Chief.”
“Knowing all that, you still say such things?”
Team Leader Yang reprimanded him, and Attorney Jo closed his mouth slightly.
“But Team Leader.”
“What?”
“This situation is really absurd. Yeoreum Jung, who was making a scene at the Busan Police Station, turns out to be the heiress of PR Group?”
Yang Team Leader felt the same. Even seeing and talking to Yeoreum Jung in person, he couldn’t believe she was in this house.
“It seems we can’t do anything about her stubbornness. I guess I have to tell the director that this matter is impossible.”
Attorney Jo Han shook his head as he spoke.
Then he looked at Team Leader Yang.
“Don’t worry too much. Surely, the chairman will be lenient towards his granddaughter.”
“Be realistic.”
Just by looking at Yeoreum Jung’s current situation, it was clear how she was being treated in this house. And now, with a video that could affect the company’s stock price…
Team Leader Yang was uneasy.
“If this gets to the chairman, he will make life even more miserable for his already despised granddaughter.”
“What to do now…”
Team Leader Yang murmured worriedly, looking in the direction Yeoreum had gone.
After spending the day exploring Blue House, Yeoreum entered the kitchen for dinner.
However, Manager Pyo was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did she go?”
Hyesook, who always followed Yeoreum, answered.
“She said she’ll eat later.”
“Why?”
“She said she can’t eat while looking at people she dislikes, or she might get sick.”
“Then tell her to enjoy her meal later.”
Yeoreum started eating nonchalantly.
The other employees followed suit.
Unlike the noisy breakfast, dinner was a quiet affair.
Hyesook was the first to finish and left quickly.
“I enjoyed the meal very much.”
Yeoreum thanked the cooking team.
“We’re glad you enjoyed it.”
The chef smiled, looking at her empty bowl.
Yeoreum returned to her room.
She was about to brush her teeth but then stepped out again.
The housekeeper was in sight.
“Housekeeper.”
The woman, heading to the front door, stopped at Yeoreum’s call.
“Are you leaving for the day?”
“Yes. Do you need something?”
“I wanted to take a bath…”
Yeoreum was hoping for a warm bath instead of cold water tonight.
“Follow me.”
The housekeeper led her upstairs and stopped midway down the right corridor.
Upon opening a door, warm air flowed out.
The spacious marble bathroom had an almost Grecian atmosphere.
Yeoreum looked surprised, and the housekeeper explained.
“Tonight, the chairman will be late, and the family members are all out.”
She went in, kindly started filling the tub, and said.
“This is the best place for a long soak. You can see the sky.”
True to her words, the darkening sky was visible through the clear ceiling.
“When you’re done, use these.”
She pointed to fluffy white robes and towels.
“Thank you.”
“Of course. If you need any other amenities, they’re in the drawers over there. Feel free to use them.”
After bowing politely, she left the room.
Seeing the clean, warm water, Yeoreum felt as if her body was eagerly urging her to bathe.
No sooner had she locked the door, she quickly undressed and stepped into the bathtub.
Immersing herself in the warm water felt rejuvenating.
Yeoreum closed her eyes, enjoying the soak before moving to stand under the shower.
As she lathered shampoo into her long hair, the door quietly opened.
It was Hyesook.
She tiptoed in, took Yeoreum’s phone from the pocket of her pants, and left without a sound.
The noise of the water masked her presence, leaving Yeoreum unaware.
“Ah, so refreshing.”
Feeling invigorated after washing off the grime, a happy tune escaped her lips.
Dressed neatly in a robe, everything felt perfect.
Yeoreum, holding her clothes, tried to leave the bathroom.
“Huh?”
For some reason, the door wouldn’t open.
No matter how many times she twisted the handle, it wouldn’t budge.
A sense of foreboding washed over her as she checked her pants pockets.
Her phone, which should have been there, was missing.
As Yeoreum let out a short breath of panic, the lights in the bathroom suddenly went out.
The room plunged into darkness.
And then, a chilling cold began to seep in aggressively.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
